On the 23rd january -the day of San Seabastian the saint who gives the name of the ville- there is a "tamborrada" drumm feast where everybody play drumms wearing soldiers or cooks suits as a conmmemorative day of this "liberation". In the mornig there is a special kids "tamborrada" which makes happy the chilfren ?rticipating. Here is an image of it http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/157920-2/The+drummer+kids.jpg As always I shall thank your comments and criticism -if any- Regards. Felix
